Oracle Demantra

Overview

Demantra is one of the Oracle Value Chain Planning family of Applications. Fully integrated with Oracle R11 and R12, Demantra provides a Bayesian Forecasting capability in place of the Best Fit approach of most alternative systems. Other benefits range from Real-Time data to PDA (Personal Digital Assisant) functionality.

Demantra comes from: Demand is our Mantra

Yes, Yes, but what does it do?

Fundamentally, Oracle Demantra collects, stores and organises item, location & time information, generates statistical forecasts and enables comparisons of actuals to forecast. Forecasts can be created and adjusted in Demantra, validated and then forwarded to other applications (such as Hyperion or ASCP) for action. You don't have to create Statistical Forecasts - you could just as easily use the previous cycle as a starting point or use both approaches.

And how does it do it?

Demantra is a web enabled tool that can be implemented in various ways: from a Stand-Alone single PC populated with data from Excel spreadsheets to a sophisticated solution integrated into your ERP System (Oracle E Business Suite, J D Edwards, Siebel, SAP etc.) with hundreds of globally distributed users.

Planners interract with the Forecast (and related) data via worksheets that are quite simple to create and manipulate. Workflows and Methods can be created to automate functions and security features enable the creation of user specific interfaces.

Demantra Modules

Oracle Demantra is actually comprised of a number of modules that can be mixed and matched according to your business needs. The modules are:
